Senior🎓
Top SchoolYilei Fu is a computational biologist and postdoctoral associate at Baylor College of Medicine’s Human Genome Sequencing Center, bringing a decade of experience at the intersection of genomics and software. Trained with a PhD in Computer Science from Rice University and doctoral work in the Treangen lab, Yilei pairs rigorous algorithmic thinking with hands-on analysis of long-read sequencing technologies. Prior industry experience as a bioinformatics intern at Oxford Nanopore Technologies informs a pragmatic, production-aware approach to tooling and data workflows. At HGSC within the Fritz Sedlazeck group, Yilei focuses on developing and applying methods for structural variant detection and genome assembly at scale. Colleagues value a blend of deep technical skill, high attention to reproducibility, and an ability to translate complex research into usable pipelines. Outside the lab, Yilei’s background suggests a curiosity for bridging cutting-edge sequencing platforms with robust computational solutions.
